This clear, thick‑walled glass jar holds two gallons and pairs with a black metal lid featuring an oversized knob and a silicone gasket for a secure seal.

Durable and dishwasher safe, this jar is offered by Anchor Hocking, a long‑standing American glassmaker, and is built to show off contents while protecting them from air and contaminants.

How does the lid keep food fresh?

The black metal lid uses a silicone gasket that seats snugly against the glass rim to limit air exchange and slow staleness. The oversized knob helps you remove the lid without tipping or spilling contents.

• Silicone gasket creates an airtight barrier.
